Gluten Free Battered Fish

[Gluten Free] Battered Fish

• Enough oil for deep frying, about 2" in your pot/fryer
• 8 (4 ounce) cod or tilapia fillets
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose [gluten-free] flour, divided
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons paprika
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1-2 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 12 fl. oz. club soda

Directions

1. Heat oil in a heavy bottom pot or a deep fryer until 365 degrees F.
2. Rinse fish, pat dry, and season with salt and pepper.
3. Lay fish fillets in 1/2 cup of the gluten-free flour, just to coat it on both sides. Shake off excess.
4. Combine 1 cup gluten-free flour, garlic powder, paprika, 2 tsp salt, and 1-2 tsp pepper. Stir egg into dry ingredients. Gradually mix in soda until a thin batter is formed. You should be able to see the fish through the batter after it has been dipped.
5. Dip fish fillets into batter, then gently drop one at a time into hot oil. Fry fish, turning once, until both sides are a golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve while still warm.
